A small patch release that addresses the removal of [MPV's legacy option syntax](https://mpv.io/manual/master/#legacy-option-syntax), also with fixes of several plugins, the addition of the `--twitch-disable-reruns` parameter and dropped support for Python 3.4.

A new release with plugin updates and fixes, including Twitch.tv (see [2680](https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/2680)), which had to be delayed due to back and forth API changes.

The Twitch.tv workarounds mentioned in [2680](https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/2680) don't have to be applied anymore, but authenticating via `--twitch-oauth-token` has been disabled, regardless of the origin of the OAuth token (via `--twitch-oauth-authenticate` or the Twitch website). In order to not introduce breaking changes, both parameters have been kept in this release and the user name will still be logged when using an OAuth token, but receiving item drops or accessing restricted streams is not possible anymore.

Plugins for the following sites have also been added:
- albavision
- news.now.com
- twitcasting.tv
- viu.tv
- vlive.tv
- willax.tv
